[AAAAAH! BIG EYE! IT'S A GIANT! Oh, no, wait, it's just somepony looking up close into a scroll. If anything, you can probably just tell that it's a pink eye.]

Oh, wow... it's magic! This is very different from what Hayate used...!

[And the eye pulls back to show a light blue filly wait, those things exist? with her dark blue mane done up in large twintails. The only other noticeable marking on her are the two triangles on her forehead.]

This is so neat - it's an entire town filled with ponies! We can't do that back in that not-really-Mayfield town...

[Now she realizes it.]

...I'm not in Mayfield anymore! A-Am I alive? Is this just another program?

...

Can I stay here?

Pause.

"...oh, right. I'm Mako, by the way. Full name is Professor Mako Daylily Linden."

[saint_sami]

"And I'm Sasami... kinda-sorta Princess Sasami Masaki Jurai. It's... a long story."

[etranger]

Pause.

"I'm assuming the 'Princess' is because your father is a King, and the 'kinda-sorta' is a Mayfield thing. We can drop it, if you want?"

[saint_sami]

"Well, yeah. The Mayfield thing is because, well... more or less, I've kinda let it go."

[etranger]

can't hold her back anymore

Ahem.

"Well, there are a lot of princesses around here, so don't worry, you're not going to be singled out for that."

[saint_sami]

"Really? Do you know how many?"

Okay, she was curious about that.

[etranger]

Thinking.

"Princess Luna, Princess Luna, Princess Luna, Princess Celestia, Princess Celestia, Princess Cadance, Princess Cadance, and Princess Twilight. There used to be Ako, too."

[saint_sami]

"...are most of those sisters?!"

[etranger]

Hoofscrape.

"Sometimes we get other-dimensional duplicates in, actually. But in general...Princess Luna and Princess Celestia are sisters, and I think Princess Cadance is Twilight's sister-in-law?"

[saint_sami]

"Oh..."

A weary look.

"...can we talk about something else? That makes my head hurt a little."

[etranger]

"Sure thing!"

Thoughtful pause.

"...are you a magical girl?"

[saint_sami]

"A magical girl? Ahaha, no, not really...! I'd like to, but, I guess I'll leave that up to... others..."

...wait, does she know about Nozomi...?

[etranger]

Mako nods.

"Fair enough! I was just wondering; as the leader of the local Precure team one of my goals is to provide a support network for all the other magical girls that end up here."

[saint_sami]

"Wait, you know about Precures?! But, I thought...!"

A pause.

"...it's Nozomi, isn't it?"

[etranger]

Hoofscrape.

"She gave me her spare Pinky Catch a while back, and I haven't bothered with maintaining a secret identity in this world."

[saint_sami]

"..."

She smiles at that.

"She has a real big heart and she must trust you to give you that."

[etranger]

A nod.

"She's helped me so much since I've met her; I'm really grateful we could be friends."

[saint_sami]

"Heh, and knowing our luck, she's probably made friends with a lot more."
